On the 17th of June,' the - day on which our Holy Church celebrites the tes' Iva! of Corpus Christi, the perfidious and abominable French Got eminent i having given dire&ions to fix up at the town of 01- hao, about a league from Faro, their orders, calling upon the oppressed Portuguese to take up arms against. Our neighbours the Spaniards, Colonel JOSE LoPES DE,SOusA, Governor of- Villa Real de S.

To. hint the few Men who were present, exclaiming with unanimous voice, replied, " We are still Poitfignese, and are ready to lay down our lives for out Religion, our Prince, and our Country." The Colonel Avtir e d to the Church, and these few men easily drawing to themselves the rest of the 'town, 'who were always greatly attached-to-the august Royal family of-Por tugal, entered the Churca tumultuously, where they were drawn up by the Colonel, whom they elei-,ted their chief, advanced to attack the French who Were marching to the town, having put them selvesin such a state- ot preparation as cireutustances admitted of, and . having taken from the tOrtress of Armona, situated on the coast, the artillery that ' wire there. On the 18th, the French who were in • the City:.ofzfro, consisting of grenadiers a n d char , sehrs ' marched; - in .order to ad against this revolo 7iT ' , flout; •, • . - out- 'an t) d attempting to invest Olhao, were dri ven ri bath , --, triS the loss or 25 men, leaving 16 dead on 6 'tire tfieii), their baggage, One mortar spiked, wit L h L • Lall'tni-,fir ammunition scattered about. These perfidious and cowardly men (whom it is, fair to call so, though their crimes have net been proved by authentic testimony in d Court of Justice) murdered two, young people who were feeding their' small flock ; an old man, more than too years of age (on that account called Pai avo) ; and also a very old woman nod herfaniily, and wounded severely two men, who have fbrtunately recovered. This division of the French remained dispersed in the fields, expeeting reinforeements trona the city of Wfyita, which, in fact; reached them on the 19th, ,and havingobtained of General MoaAttg, who go , yerno the,whole of Algarva, and resided at Faro, -that ioine i.f the 2d regiment of artillery, then lying ,tlicre - should be detached to assist them to repel the _ ... .brave division of noble seafaring men, the people of Faro making a signal for attack at two in the iltier noon, a countryman being at their head, and the soldiers SEBAsTIAO, COBREIRA, Captain of artillery, and his brothers BELEHI* and SZVERO, COBREIA, as well as LAZAR°, LANDEIRO, and others, display ed the national tiag, and. defended the city, making prisoners the. French soldiers and Officers, to the numberof 170, and General MORAIN hims-lf, • • The measures adopted by the NObility, Clergy, and Religious Oran, were not less patriotic: On, the 20th the people were called together by them,. and at seven in the morning, under the discharge of artillery, they all took an oath that they would de fend, to, the last drop of their blood, their Religion, their Queen,, the Princ e R egent our Sovereign, his Children, and the whole Most Serene House of 'Braganza. . : Presently appeared in arms the Most Reverend i, phapter in. •a body, and all th e Cl erg y, w i t h the ) ftiree Ordiers of Franciscans, Antonines, and Ma- Wins i ar'iti 4 those dispositions were taken which were requited 'by the presence of the enemy, who being I driven from Olhao, which place he could not enter, ! sought refuge in Faro ; but being driven back by our I artillery, .they retreated to the mountains at the dis ' tance of a league. At:two in the afternoon of the s satne day, the city being placed in a secure State of defence, and troops 1 being detached to. succour 011iao, the French eva -1 cuated these parts, and flying dispersed towards the mountains, they re-united at Mertola, where I there was a division of them, which, with the troops 1 of ,Algarva, were destined to invade Spain. , But .143tyluntryman, who still headed a str ong di v i s i on iidf-tll of Faro, addressed his followers, say ing, i` Friends, we can never be safe while a single city, town, or village of our kingdom is subjeol to the tyranny of the treadle I will go to the villages 1.1380 N, SEPT. 17.—N0 sootier was It known that there had arrived at Figueira a Grand Expedition, "leaentsto the succour of Portugal by his Britannic Ma-, .

A grand match at back-sword playing took place at Swindon on Friday and Saturday the 23d and 24th ult. and it may with truth be said, that a match in which more good iJay, skill, and true courage were shewn, was never .witnessed in that nor any other country.

SECOND COMBAT OF PtGO. W have just seed that many dedu 7 4... ions are to tit made frOm the glory which BUONAPAttTE 4117-?gatei to himself for the c.l7tnre of Dego; which; after all; had nothing of ektraordina• in it ; since an tha heroism of the a,4, is co..fitieci to taking possession of a Fort whiOlL,liad do longer any means of de fenbe We sh:4l now gee todi still more ileduc jions must be made from the pOrripous eulogiiims which his historian bestows on him for the re . capttire of thiS same Dego.. These are his words The Freffth army, fatigued with the .aelion; " lasie - d till night, resigned itself entirely to the security of violory ; when BEAULItU, at • break Or _day; clrawing together seven thousand Austrians,,the .choice of his army, recovered Chi " vil age of The .drums iosi - autly beat tO 66 arms, add awoke the French; MASSENA began " the attack, and was repulsed; he advanced a " second and a third ,tirne,• but with tio better sac . cess. GeneraICAUSSE was .not more fortunate; he was on the point of reaching the enemy; " when he was shot through the heart. It was now past two in tb..o - afternoon, and the affair' " was not yet decided. The Adjutant-General LA . 4, " NUS_ rallied the Bth derni-brigade of light infantry; " and rushed, at its head, on the enemy's left " an instant atter, his troops began to give way " lint his intrepidity. gave them fresh courage, and' " Do,c3.9„,Nfasollinutly retaken. 'The cavalry co rn ., " theitourof the enemy, who left behind " them:six, hitindred killed, and fourteen hundred " prisoners." I have a preliminary,observatiori to' make On thii recital : it is ; that in allowing the.panegyrist of Buo- NAPARTE ail that he here advanees to the praise of hid hero, it is granting hini 'a Mere trifle : a cortibat Which lasts neat -twelve hours between the army of 800- NAPARTE and the choice of the Austrian forces; and of which the final result is to kill six hundred; and Make fourteen. hundred prisbners; is assuredly not n eomblitiofigreoVitnportance, nor one that merits very. distinguished place in history. It is true" that an advantage of some consideration was delived front it, namely ; the re-'capture of DegO; but this very re-capture places in the most striking point Of vid* an essential fault whichcan never be forgiven in a Ge neral: What !--BUONAPARtg become master of De go; after three days of the Most violent and murderoui ' attacks, takes not' one necessary preaaution to secqr6 ' his laud-carncd prize ! lie perMitS his whole arMy,: officers and soldiers—vino soinnoque sepulti—plunged in sleep and wine, to leave the walls and nit; gatei of a fortress 'which has cost him rivers of blood; open to the first corners !•- n to leave them so defence; 'less, that the Austrians possessed themselves of them .without firing a Apt ! . A General who tolerates such disorders as theo,• is totally unworthy to comes maridAnariny 6 TIIQ aUtli'Qr 0 eucleavoult to' palliate the ef ro t , t saying, " that the army, fatigued with fighting; had entirely resigned itself to the security of tory." But we know too well what was the, " entity of victory" among the soldiers Of the Revolu tion, especially at its- comtnenceinent, When the savage enthusiasm of independence, or rather licen tiousness, ,increased Their natural ferocity: These soldierS were then Undermine restraint fro s ni their General, who, for them was inefely a citizen; and were a\plit drlful scourge f or al l the t o w n s arid • countries - .through which they passed: They add ed- to the cruel pra6licei of wat every horror that unbridled . passion could inspire. Debauchery, gluttony; rapacity, robbery.cif houses and churches, and barbaroui and brutal violation of persons ; such is the borripendions, and even mitigated pielure ; 'of . the conduct of the soldiers of BUONA-. PARTE,III comparison of v:rlom the Goths and Van dais were mere novices in plundering. TheSe creants had the iMpudenc6 to call themselves sat client of liberty ! They should' have called them selves soldiers of licentiou§hess, and of licentious ness carried to its Utmost excess, foul and filthy in all its enormities, and exercised.with the Most win ton and atrocious insolence. Hitherto we have sup- I posed that the narration of - BtiONAPARteS histories was true ; but we `Alhall nchir proVe that it is false; • abSolutelY fahe, its essential Points !
